It's a beautiful sunny morning here in PDX. Sadly today is my Monday and I'll be working through the weekend. Still, it's one of those days when you can feel summer on the way. Looking through Manny's and other list members' photos has me thinking about Rivish summer adventures. What are your plans? s24o's? Mixed road explorations on new roads? Bike modifications?
For myself I've got the Cascade 1200k next week which isn't very Rivish but after that I plan on doing the majority of the rest of my summer riding on platform pedals and in regular clothing. I'm definitely planning on doing some s24o's in the Mt Hood NF. I'll probably do Larch Mtn a couple of times. While it's a long ride from my house to the summit and back (80 miles) there's nothing to keep one from just going at a reasonable pace, making a day of it and enjoying the ride. As for bike mods? I'm all fired up about kickstands. I may put them on all my bikes. I put a double legger on the Hilsen yesterday and love it. Most likely that kickstand will go on my LHT and I'll get a single legger for the Hilsen. Hell, when I was on a 600k brevet last year I saw one of the faster rides had one on his bike. I was standing around looking for a place to put my bike when he rolled up to the control, put the kickstand up, got his card signed and went on his way. There was something so incongruent about the kickstand and his bike and yet it all made perfect sense. I'll probably give Albatross bars a try on the Hilsen. I'm just really intrigued by that set-up. With my growing appreciation for rambling through summer in regular clothes I'm sure wishing RBW was selling their MUSA seersucker shirts. Those sure were a great deal. They had some nice features. I did just order a seersucker shirt with a fairly nice print through LL Bean. They have them on sale so be aware. Okay, that enough out of me on the glorious caffeine fueled morning. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
